What is a Strength?
We find Talents to be the naturally recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied. It’s how we process information, interact with people and see/understand the world. From there, a Strength is the development of talent by the cultivation of knowledge, skills, and experience related to a talent.
How Can This Help You?
Strengths-based institutions in Higher Education are able to support employees in the following ways:
- Faculty - best leveraging your individual talents in teaching, research, and service to further innovation and scholarship in their disciplines.
- Staff - identify and develop to maximum potential, leveraging personal strengths to achieve work outcomes, feel engaged, supported, and productive.
- Leadership - understand individual contributions of team members focusing on what they do best, and helping them develop to reach their potential. Additionally, leaders can grow into their own authentic leadership style, leveraging their personal talents to build an environment of trust, compassion, stability, and hope.
- Students - strengths focus supports all aspects of students’ well-being, helping them to explore the connection between their educational pursuits, and areas where they excel as individuals.
CliftonStrengths®
Idaho State University has chosen Gallup's CliftonStrengths® assessment to help employees identify and build upon their strengths. This tool gives employees the opportunity to develop strengths by building on their greatest talents -- the way in which they most naturally think, feel, and behave as unique individuals.
Additionally, those individuals who attend a full “Introduction to CliftonStrengths®” session will be gifted an individualized nameplate to keep at their desk. This will allow them to keep their Top 5 at the forefront of their minds as their strengths are developed. This also allows co-workers to easily glimpse on another's strengths and know how to more effectively communicate with their individual team members.
There is no cost for ISU faculty and staff to attend this workshop. Assessments, workshop materials, instruction, and tools will be included free of charge. We look forward to using the Gallup's CliftonStrengths® assessment now and in the future to improve the lives of our employees by learning how to leverage their individual strengths.
